TIPS FOR TAKING CAPSULES
Problems swallowing capsules
If you have trouble swallowing capsules, there are some tips that can help. We've compiled the best ones for you here:
- Opening capsules: All YLUMI capsule-formulas (with the exception of BELLY BEAUTY capsules) can also be taken open. Simply unscrew the capsule and pour the contents into a liquid of your choice.
- Drink plenty of water : Drink a glass of water before taking the capsule, and then take another sip after the capsule is in your mouth. This helps swallow the capsule more easily.
- Tilt your head forward : Instead of tilting your head back, try tilting your head slightly forward after the capsule is in your mouth. This will help the capsule slide down your throat more easily.
- Take with a soft food : You can try taking the capsule with a soft food such as applesauce or yogurt. This makes it easier to swallow.
- Split the dose if taking multiple capsules: If you're taking multiple YLUMI capsules, try swallowing them one at a time rather than all at once. This makes the process less overwhelming.

Why shouldn't the BELLY BEAUTY capsules be opened?
The BELLY BEAUTY capsules are designed to protect certain ingredients and ensure they are released in the right amount and at the right location in the body. There are several reasons why the BELLY BEAUTY capsules should not be opened:
-
Protection of the active ingredient : Some active ingredients are sensitive to light, moisture, or stomach acid. The capsule shell protects these substances until they reach the right place in the digestive tract, where they can take effect.
-
Targeted release : BELLY BEAUTY capsules are formulated to release the active ingredient only in the intestine, protecting the stomach lining and delivering the active ingredient where it's needed most. Opening the capsule early may result in the loss of this protective mechanism, which could impair effectiveness.
